Also are some young deer including a young buck just sprouting some antlers
we've seen on the pond edge on the east side of the road on both Thurs and Sat.

Re: [mou-net] Yellow-throated warbler at Whitewater Winona Cty

2019-05-04 Thread Thomas George
That’s kind of funny because several years ago my brother Bill George and I 
“chased” it at Whitewater.  We hung out at the place you described.  I was 
doubting Thomas because I had never chased a bird.  We waited and waited and 
then I thought I heard its call. We played it’s song and shortly thereafter it 
appeared. I was in awe. We then had a picnic lunch by the river and the bird 
followed us there and sang and sang and never left us alone.  Afterward I swore 
that this male confused us for female Yellow Throated warblers. My friend Bill 
Stjern said that sometimes males will go out of their range and spend the 
entire summer looking for a mate in vain. Lol

[mou-net] Pine Warblers & Other FOYs at Wm O'Brien SP

2019-05-04 Thread Refsnider
This morning Maureen & I covered 7+ miles of Wm O'Brien's trails on the 
west side of Hwy. 95.  For the most part there weren't a lot of birds, 
but we had some interesting finds.


Just the best:
Am. Bittern - FOY
Sora - 2, heard only
Horned Grebe - 1 on the pond inside the Prairie Overlook Trail loop, 
still showing some winter plumage

Hooded Merganser - 1 male on same pond
Wood Thrush - heard 2-3, visual confirmation on 1 of them; FOY
Ovenbird - 2 heard only; FOY
Black-throated Green Warbler - 1 heard; FOY
Palm Warbler - ~6
Yellow-rumped Warbler - surprisingly few
Pine Warbler - a pair foraging very close together on ground just S of 
Visitor Center; male was the extreme yellow, female the extreme dull 
plumage shown in "The Warbler Guide"; both landed ~10' away & were 
examined with 10x binoculars; FOY

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher - 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet - numerous (we couldn't confirm any GCKI, though)
Rose-breasted Grosbeak - 1 heard only; FOY
House Wren - 1 heard only; would be FOY except we heard 1 at home 
earlier today

Sedge Wren - heard 2-3; FOY
Eastern Towhee - they seemed to be singing from everywhere
Brown Thrasher - heard a few
Swamp Sparrow - not that special, except we estimate that we SAW well 
over 75 of them, including a flock of 30+, and a flock of 20+.

White-throated Sparrow - just a few seen & heard

[mou-net] Comcast email address issues.

2019-05-04 Thread Terence Brashear
Comcast email addresses are having issues with sending and receiving to
MOU-NET.  Some sent message make it through, and some don't.

The reason there was not a response from the admins when sending to
owner-mou-...@lists.umn.edu was due to comcast not the list itself.
Anything sent from a comcast email address was not delivered to us.

We had similar issues with yahoo email addresses in the past.  I had to
switch my email address to a gmail account because yahoo could not resolve
the issue.

I did just recently receive email sent to me personally from comcast email
addresses which is why I am now aware of the issue.

If you have a comcast email account you are going to need to contact them
to get this resolved or you will need to switch email providers.

I apologize for any frustration this may have caused but the list admins
can't fix the issue.  Only Comcast can.

The Common Tern I found on May 1 is still present today at the marsh on the
north side of Co. Rd. 27 a mile east of Co. Rd. 1. This is north of Pennock
a few miles. The Terns are on the center island with 17 Forster's Terns.

[mou-net] Rose-breasted Grosbeak - Ramsey County

2019-05-04 Thread T Walls
I woke up to a welcome sight in my bird feeder this morning: a male
Rose-breasted Grosbeak. After tromping all over yesterday for such a sight,
all I had to do today was look out my window for a first of the year for
me.
